On the heels of the SJC ruling on Peter Leithart now comes word from Siouxlands Presbytery that a pastor and his elders at the center of the Federal Vision debate are pointing fingers at one of their critics accusing him of defamatory language. I first read about this last night on Brian Carpenter's blog and couldn't believe my eyes. Things are going from bad to worse.

Brian reports how the elders of the church in Mankato, Minnesota, whose pastor Greg Lawrence is at the center of the Federal Vision debate, have now decided to press charges against TE Wes White for defamatory language on his blog. Instead of heeding the advice of their brethren who have spoken in two investigative committee reports which found their pastor teaching outside the bounds of the Westminster Confession of Faith they have decided to circle the wagons to protect him. THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTING THE FLOCK UNDER THEIR CARE NOT OBSTRUCTING THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK OF THE PRESBYTERY. CAPICHE? Click on this link to read his report Well, Isn't That Special?

About Me

Hometown: St. Paul, MN.
College: University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. BS Water Resources, (College of Natural Resources).
I was on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ (1985-1993). Much of that time was spent in prison ministry. I worked in state, federal and local correctional facilities in CA, GA, and WI). My last assignment involved sending mission teams to the former Soviet Union in conjunction with "Co-Mission" (I helped train the first two teams).
At this juncture I had come to an understanding of reformed theology. Shortly thereafter I sensed God's call to pastoral ministry. When I began seminary I had to say "No" to a dream assignment to live and minister in Novosibirsk,Russia (Siberia). I have a heart for missions and hope to serve in another country/culture sometime in the future. I have served as pastor of three churches. I have also spent five years working at a Fortune 50 corporation.
